Grow light question
GrowingGrannieanswered grow question 2 years ago
I've just done exactly what you're thinking about doing.. I grow in a 2x4 tent and found the lights made for that size tent to be miserably small - and the ends of the tent never had enough light for anything. Took me a long time to find one but I looked for the DIMENSIONS, not the size of tent the light was "made for" ... and wow.... now I have a tent that measures 24" x 48" and my light measures 21" x 33" ... and to add to the wonderfulness, I was able to go from 200W to 450W - the DLI is perfect and my plants are super happy! I WILL tell you that the one thing you need to watch out for, if you do what you want to do, is the heat will go up quite a bit in your tent - so just allow for that, expect it and have a plan on how to deal with it if need be.
I, personally, couldn't be happier with my decision! Good luck!

Siempre la intencidad disminuye hacia los lados. La luz es mas intensa en el centro. Mide la intensidad de la luz sobre la izquierda y la derecha deben ser iguales. Suerte

If you have a 2 ft tent put your light all the way to 1 side and measure on opposite side would be the same as having light centered in a 3ft tent. Know what i mean vern

Will my set up work? Is it missing something major?Will my set up work well or am I missing something that can help me out a lot? Wondering if my light is big enough for three plants in a 2x4x6 closet. Are the plant pots adequate size (2.5gallon)? Should I use many nutrients with this autoflower?

Alright so this morning from 8am to 4pm my power was out. I transplanted last night and soaked the medium pretty well. Will this power outage hurt my girls. Did the temps being 10 degrees lower all day hurt them. How soon will I know if I get root rot or anything of that nature?Week 3

General question about raising lights.Gotta question for what most of you are doing to raise your lights?
Currently I've just set it static and move as needed. But I'm curious if anyone has a easier method or know of anything made to aid in the raising of the LED light fixtures ?
